Emma had every reason to smile since she's just been nominated in the Best Film Actress category at the Scottish BAFTAs.
Her performance in The Legend of Barney Thomson will be pitted against Elena Anaya's role in Swung and Elizabeth Mcgovern, also for Swung.

Emma - who also has adopted son Tindyebwa Agaba with her husband Greg - has long championed ageing gracefully and doesn't understand society's obsession with staying young.
'I do think the infantilisation of our generation is one of the huge issues of our time,' she told The Guardian.
'People wanting to be 35 when they're 50 makes me think, "Why? Why don't you be 50 and be good at that?! 'And also embody the kinds of choices that are sustainable at that age.'
